172 N Hanover St Pottstown, PA 19464

172 N. Hanover is a beauty waiting to be discovered! The stone front steps lead you to the large covered front porch and your mind begins to imagine the stories this home has to share! The entrance is grand with a front door into the vestibule with original granite detail and beautiful wooden French doors that lead you into a one-of-a-kind foyer. Take a seat on the window bench and admire the tall 2 story stained-glass window, the detail of this window alone makes this a one-of-a-kind home! The craftsmanship continues throughout the entire house. Wood floors abound in this home and flow throughout the living spaces on the first floor. Ceiling heights on the first and second floor are 10 1/2 feet! At the far end of the foyer is a large stone fireplace and to the right is the parlor now being used as a formal living room. Light pours into every room in this home through large windows, and the parlor is no exception. A large bay window looks out over the other historic homes on North Hanover. The living room has a beautiful gas fireplace with a deep wood mantle and an ornate mirror. Continue to the back of the house, you pass through the dining room which features all of the Victorian charm and into the large kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with a 2-tier island, Sub-Zero refrigerator, cook top range, wall oven, built in microwave, double sink, dishwasher, tile backsplash, an abundance of counter space and cabinets, and a breakfast nook adorned with stained-glass windows. There is also a roomy powder room with penny floor tiles. Behind the kitchen is a large laundry room which leads to the English garden-style backyard. The second level welcomes you with hardwood steps and staircase and leads you upstairs all while admiring the large stained-glass window as you take each step. Here you will find the wood floors continue into the primary and second bedroom. The primary bedroom has four large windows which allows the sunshine to pour through them, a wall of closets and a master bath with a walk-in closet with a pocket door, double vanity and stall shower. The tops of the windows in this bedroom include beautiful, ornate woodwork inserts. The second and third bedrooms are also on this floor; one is currently being used as a family room. The large hall bath is nestled between these two bedrooms and includes penny floor tiles and a cast iron tub. Continue up the next set of wooden stairs to the third floor full of possibilities. This level includes a kitchenette, a dining area, a den area, a half bath, and two bedrooms. The charm comes from the wood floors, the exposed beams, and the exposed stone wall. There’s also access to the former bell tower which offers a unique outdoor space. This upper level has lots of possibilities…in-law suite, au-pair area, playroom, or art studio are just a few! Outside spend your days in the English garden with its stone patio, raised garden bed, and curved walkway to the former carriage house, now a detached two car garage (with large storage area on the second floor). This home has all the room you are searching for with a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you never want to leave. High Street is a short stroll away offering you walkability to restaurants, breweries, the theater, and parks. You aren’t going to want to miss seeing this beauty! Close to major roads and public transportation.
